Fleet skipper Steve McKimm and midfielder Francis Duku
return from suspension for the home clash with Hereford.

Shaymen boss Chris Wilder has bolstered his squad by

HEREFORD UNITED
Defender Andy Tretton could be available for Hereford's
match at Gravesend after successfully coming through a
reserve game this week. Tretton has been troubled by a
thigh injury for the last five months, but suffered no

LEIGH RMI
Manager Phil Starbuck has no fresh selection worries for
the match with Stevenage. The Railwaymen were edged out
4- 3 in a seven-goal thriller last week against Tamworth
and ended the match with only nine men. Carl Rezai and
Wayne Maden were the men to see red, but their respective
bans do not start until after the Boro clash.

MARGATE
Margate advanced to the fifth round of the FA Trophy
after goals by Adrian Clarke and Sam Sodje saw off

clash with either Weston-Super-Mare or Telford in the
next round.

MORECAMBE
Shrimps manager Jim Harvey may receive a double injury
boost before the trip to Farnborough. Centre-back Shaun
Garnett looks to have shaken off the injury which kept
him out of last week's win over Northwich. Midfielder
Iain Swan returned to full training this week after
recovering from a groin operation and may feature.

NORTHWICH VICTORIA
Vics manager Shaun Teale will give mid-fielder Paul
McGuire a late fitness test before confirming his side
for the clash with Margate. Defender Kieran Charnock
(medial liga-ments) and midfielder Chris Royle (groin)
remain the only long-term casualties. Phil Brazier
(hamstring) should be back in action before the end of

SCARBOROUGH
Boro midfielder Scott Kerr was forced to pull out of the
England National Game XI's 4-1 defeat to Italy on
Wednesday because of a foot injury. Kerr sustained the
problem in the 3-3 draw with Hereford earlier this month.
Although he played at Forest Green on Saturday he was

Ryan Lowe missed the reserves' 3-0 win over Rochdale in
midweek after aggravating the hamstring injury he
sustained against Northwich on New Year's Day. The
25-year-old striker came off complaining of tightness
with just over 10 minutes remaining, although the club
later confirmed the problem was not as serious as first
feared.

STEVENAGE BOROUGH
Boro boss Graham Westley can count on the services of
Tunisian Dino Maamria for the match at Leigh RMI. The
powerful striker will be back to boost the forward line
after missing the 1-0 defeat to Telford through
suspension. Defender Barry Laker has resumed training
after surgery, but is unlikely to be fit.

TAMWORTH
Lambs manager Darron Gee has confirmed he will allow
several players to leave the club before the end of the
season in a bid to cut the club's budget. One of those
players could well find themselves in Division Two after
winger Tony Scully impressed dur-ing a recent trial with
Notts County.

Bucks manager Mick Jones remained in an upbeat mood after
seeing his side's FA Cup run come to an end on Wednesday.
Jones' side were beaten 2-0 in their twice postponed

for the clash with fellow play-off hopefuls Accrington
Stanley. The defender is serving a one-match suspension
which has been carried over from last Saturday's

make the pitch unplayable.
